我和太太一直用 EAD上班,上个月新的485 (current company sponsored)递上去,律师说要同时取消旧的485(pending more than one year),那样旧的EAD就没用了,但新的EAD没下来,这期间我们的身份是什么?485 pending?我和太太都是合法工作吗?谢谢。
-Both of you do not need to withdraw the old I-485, and USCIS will put all of your information (old I-485 and new I-485) together for consideration. The lawyer is terrible. Actually, you do not need to waste money to file a new I-485 and just send a letter to ask USCIS to do the I-485 interfiling/transfer. The lawyer really just wants more money and does not do the best way for you.
If you withdraw your old I-485, you can not use the EAD to work, but you can still stay in US legally based on the new pending I-485.
